It entirely depends on you.  If you prefer email and don't plan to to
use your trac installation for bug reports, that's perfectly fine for
me.

It works very well for me too on Debian GNU/Linux (i386 and powerpc).

I forgot to mention that I do not have any files to load (i.e. it's a
clean install), so such an error looks odd, at best.

Everything (-base, -gui, -back, SimpleAgenda, libical), is either with
the -dbg packages installed or rebuilt with no stripping.  I have also
the libc and libobjc -dbg packages.  Hmm, I'll try with gnustep-base
built against libffi, might be better...

It is described at http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/doc/, although
it would be perhaps easier if I give you an account on my machine, if
you agree.

Yes and no; I installed the system from that CD but I upgraded it to
current Debian unstable (and I update it almost daily).
